A group of Anglo-Saxons travelling through the Forest of Feckenham. In the north of the oak forest they come across a feld or clearing amongst the trees. Nearby is a small river, a good place to settle and build a village. They cleared high land overlooking the fertile valley of the river Rea. The farming community thrived and extended its territory to cover an area four to five miles long and three miles wide. The year is about 700AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
